[2.2] Culler-support. Now also budget! - Full MF | 12.6kES | 7 Auras + Guardian

3rd version:

10300 ES and capped resistances.

Added screenshots

Guide finished

I am very happy with how strong is the build now. When I first read about the aura nerfs, I thought it was going to be impossible to keep similar auras and energy shield than before.

But 10,8k ES is insanely tanky, even more for a build who doesn't need to tank at all. And 7 auras with all aura effect passives is more than I could ask for. I'm just a bit sad about the cold res, all my fucking gear has fire res on it :(

For the people who have been following the guide evolution: new sections are "flask usage", "mana version" and "IIQ vs IR" (inside gear section); updated sections are "screenshots" and "gear"; minor changes elsewhere.

Thanks for your support!

Updated defensive screenshots.

After buying 2 cheap jewels, 11.3k ES and capped cold res.

I've added a new section called "Loot screenshots".
When people ask you what's your MF, you can direct them here :D

Also, made my profile public just in case I stop updating, I have nothing to hide.

Very nice and complete build! Can't wait to run some more maps with you :)

Thanks buddy! I'll be on on my culler more often now. I am not that happy with mjolner (I guess melee isn't suited for me).


Updated guide with jewel section. If someone disagrees, I want to hear it ASAP.

New section about animate guardian. Pushing the build further with 33% increased damage and 18% effect of curses for all party members!

Still unsure which armour is better for the guardian

I bought this

Update on defense and AG

After playing more I can safely say there is no need to hide the guardian in any of the map bosses of 81 and lower (I haven't played 82s). 0 deaths since I started using him, from lvl 94 to 98. The closest calls have been 81 maps with domination mods.

This is with lvl 20 AG, and lvl 2 empower --> lvl21 AG. Bear in mind that the durability of AG scales incredibly hard of the gem level.

81: all bosses are a joke for guardian

80: Excavation requires some attention. In about 1/5 of my runs the hp of the guardian drops low, just run away a little and come back. There is no need to be close anyway.

79: All bosses are a joke for guardian. Even in the overpowered village ruin, if the bosses decide to target AG instead of you, it's welcomed.

78: Crematorium and Academy both have enough dps to kill it, but if he is close enough to take all damage without moving, so are you. Since you will not stand still waiting for your death, there is no reason to worry about.

77: (...)

Thanks for nice build. Got the same gear as you +- (without mirror items), only need to lvl up some gems. Helping my friends a lot.
